The larger portion of the Sowerby family archive remained in family ownership until the 1960s, when the death of William Sowerby's grandson James Frank Sowerby (1887-1968), precipitated its dispersal into the book trade and at auction, much of it acquired by the Natural History Museum (reference I.

England & Wales. Greenough ( G.B.), A Geological Map of England & Wales by G.B.Greenough, President of the Geological Society..., 1819 [but published 1820], engraved map with contemporary hand colouring, on three sheets, sectionalised and laid on linen, compass rose and table of explanation, some staining, each sheet approximately 640 x 1620 mm, contained in a marbled book box, worn A map which was controversial at the time of its publication in that Greenough was accused of plagiarising William Smith's earlier and ground breaking geological survey and map of 1815. Greenough was stung enough by the critisicm to issue a written defense of his actions which was published in 'Memoir of a Geological Map of England: to Which are Added, an Alphabetical Index to the Hills, and a List of the Hills Arranged According to Counties (1820), p4.'.Smith's low social staus and background resulted in his work being largely ignored and the Geological Society of London did indeed plagiarise the map, undercutting Smith's asking price, which eventually pushed Smith to financial ruin and the debtor's prison. Recognition of his role as 'The Father of English Geology' would only follow much later in 1831 when Smith was awarded the Woolaston medal by the Geological Society. Greenough's map is important in its own right and is now recognised as a separate piece of scholarship but unlike Smith it involved no surveying but relied on other surveyors sending him information which he then collated.
